The next patch will also be available soon. It will add a few new options to Live Tournaments. We will now be able to setup tournaments where everyone will have the same sweetspot percentage on their clubs and the ability to turn off chipping/pitching on the green. As always, please feel free to let us know what you think about some of our recent additions.
Who says EA doesn't care? Pretty cool if you ask me. TW 10 is $44 this week at Target. I have the Wii version which I love because of the controller. Is TW 10 (X360) worth getting if I already have the Wii version?DivotMaker wrote:The next patch will also be available soon. It will add a few new options to Live Tournaments.

I can't speak to a comparison with the Wii version because I don't have a Wii, but TW10 for 360 has already had more playing time personally than TW08/09 combined. The Live Tournaments have completely weaned me off of offline PGA TOUR Season Mode which is what I primarily played with 08/09 because of the lack of online play options. TW10 has changed all that for me and I play online exclusively. In fact, I do not have enough time to play all the events I want to play....Rodster wrote: Who says EA doesn't care?

I think that is what is so brilliant about the Wii version.Gangrel wrote:whenver i get the urge to try one of the weekly tournies on 360, I quickly don't.... as the leaderboard for one of them right now has the 1st spot at -70 or some ridicoulous number!!!!!!
I wish there was a way to set up a "friends list only" one or something so we could have a DSP one.......
Agreed. The scoring in the game is so unrealistic and I know exactly why. It is too easy and predictable. Users shooting scores like this are holing out shots from the fairway and chipping/pitching on the greens instead of putting. Below are the areas I think TW for the 360/PS3 needs to improve on:Gangrel wrote:whenver i get the urge to try one of the weekly tournies on 360, I quickly don't.... as the leaderboard for one of them right now has the 1st spot at -70 or some ridicoulous number!!!!!!

If EA incorporated some type of sim mode into Project Natal it might cut down on the cheezers in online play as it would force you to hit the ball in a realistic manner.Naples39 wrote:At this point I'm not sure it will be better, if even as good, as with Motion+.

I would take a swing based on ANYTHING more than the current analog stick motion as a way to incorporate some badly needed realism in both gameplay and scoring in a heartbeat....Rodster wrote:If EA incorporated some type of sim mode into Project Natal it might cut down on the cheezers in online play as it would force you to hit the ball in a realistic manner.Naples39 wrote:At this point I'm not sure it will be better, if even as good, as with Motion+.

Ooh the thought of actually using a real golf club to play TW with Natal. Now I can only imagine all the broken ceiling fans, LCD screens from using Natal.
That has been done before in TW06/07 and was changed starting with TW08 because Tiger himself stated that his swing is pretty much the same on fades and draws, the difference being how he sets up his feet before the shot.Gangrel wrote:I was thinking of this today actually......
How about a hardcore mode, where if I want to hit a draw, I need to motion my stick in the correct way instead of aiming with the bumper buttons?
A tempo-based swing is BADLY needed in this game...see my rant above...Gangrel wrote:More rhythm in the motion would be better too, as it would help with feel shots around the green. as it stands now, chips come off my club at 500 mph.......
Good point. Especially on blasts out of the sand trap. They need to incorporate a "Blast" type shot out of the bunker instead of "pitch"....Gangrel wrote:Another thing, which maybe is there but I dont' notice??? If i open up the club face to put backspin on the ball, I should have to shift my aim accordingly. As it stands now, you can seemingly keep aiming straight!
Natal and Sony's new motion controllers might finally get us much closer if not there....Gangrel wrote:I wonder if we'll ever get it.....
I've noticed this also. It happens a lot in sand traps. It will fly in there and get plugged, but when you go to hit the shot it's sitting perfectly. A few tips for you that helped me get over the hump. Hit your drives and other shots just like putts. It's easy to get in a rush and try to "swing" too quickly. Just be sure to bring it straight back and straight forward. Don't try to kill the ball, just hit it straight. A 90% power shot in the fairway is better than a 110% shot in the trees. Another tip is, when you're in that 80% range, open the clubface completely. This will take away like 15- 20% or so of your total distance, meaning you need to then hit it 95% and not the dreaded 7. It takes practice, and it varies such as if you're up hill, down hill, into the wind or with it etc. Opening and closing the clubface is something that really helped me out. I started terribly, but thru it all my average round in Tiger is a 60.5. Hope this helps. One last tip, if you're 70% with a pitching wedge, you can probably club up to a lob wedge, close the clubface and power the shot there with some nice spin to boot.Gangrel wrote:Either I suck, or... well, I suck. I'm probably halfway through the first year of my career, and the highest i finished was 10th I think.
My last round (1st round of the Players) for whatever reason my finger wouldn't push the stick forward straight once, and I spent a lot of time in the rough......
which leads me to this question. There were a few times where I landed in the rough under trees, or on the pine needles, and when I went to hit the actual shot, the ball was "moved". It's as if the game *doesn't* want you hitting under a tree???? Has anyone else noticed this? I noticed it more when the ball landed on pine needles, but i hit from the rough!
Also, something that needs improving, is touch on shots less then 100%, especially around the green. I find the swing comes back so fast, that I over shoot my target a lot!
70-80 yard full shots with my PW are the worst, as I can never get a 50% swing, and always get 70% or higher,killing someone in the gallery!!!!!
If anyone has any suggestions, let me know
What powercap? I have looked at all 4 tournaments (Play the Pros and Upperdeck Challenge) and none of them are powercapped. Just shot -11 in the first round of the PtP event....a score with only one birdie (the rest pars) on the par 5's.Auditor_Kevin wrote:I can't believe they expect us to play this week's Play The Pros (the PGA Championship) with the abilities capped at 7s.
This is the longest tournament in PGA Tour history. There's a 545 yard par 4, a 250+ yard par 3 and a 675 yard par 5 for Gods sake!
The weakest guy in the field this week can still drop an average drive to the tune of an 8 or 9 on TW10 power scale.
Any of you guys even breaking par for 18 with the settings capped at 7? I'm not gonna waste my time trying to tackle a 7,700 yard track with average drives of less than 275 yards and lots of wind.
Ah well. I'm still really enjoying the PGA Championship in my offline Tour season. I snaphooked my drive on the dreaded 16th hole and made double bogey, but still managed to card a -3, good for a tie for 11th thru 1 round (my stats are all between 9 and 10).
Hard to say, really. Rent it first and see. You can virtually tune the game to any difficulty you like, but the AI scores much better in Career mode than TW09 and the Tournament Challenges in '10 are far superior than the Tiger Challenges of '09. To me, the Online Live Tournaments are the one feature that has kept me playing '10 more than the past 3 versions combined, especially online play....fletcher21 wrote:Is Tiger 10 any harder than 09? I was feeling a lack of challenge with my golfer in 09, since I've played 3 seasons he is pretty built up. I decided to make a new player. I shot a 61 in my first round and a 59 in my second round, in my first tournament. I think I am just too good at the game to be able to shoot a 59 with a guy who can't even hit it 270 with a driver. Will 10 give me any more of a challenge?
